Make Sarah Vine issue an apology for her bigoted Daily Mail article "Legsit"

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Sarah Vine was the author of the incredibly sexist Daily Mail article issued today in which the title read "Who Won Leg-sit". I would like Sarah Vine as well as other representatives of the Daily Mail to issue an apology to Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon who were both victimised by this article.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
